This case involved spurious claims of alleged sexual offending committed by our client. There were no eye-witnesses, no forensics, and a significantly delayed complaint. The matter took several years to get to trial in the District Court.

We engaged in extensive preparation, including obtaining relevant documents by subpoena and locating and proofing a critical defence witness.

As a result of our we preparation were able to demonstrate multiple motives to lie on the part of the complainant. Further, James not only conducted a devastating cross-examination of the complainant, but also adduced powerful evidence in the defence case that raised reasonable doubt.

At trial, the jury took a mere 18 minutes to acquit the client. This was a fantastic outcome and the client was very pleased with our work on the matter.
